" This place has excellent views and a relaxed vibe! The food is quite good, I recommend their chicken nachos—so tasty! Our server was friendly, but it took a while for food to arrive. I appreciated the beautiful river setting; it made the wait much more enjoyable. The prices are affordable for the quality of the food, but I did expect the service to be faster based on its popularity. I will visit again when in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Boathouse Cantina with my family, and we all enjoyed our meals. I had the enchiladas, which were decent but lacked a bit of spice. My kids loved the chicken tenders and fries, but I felt they were a bit pricey for what you got. The service staff were friendly, even if a bit slow during the busy dinner rush. The outdoor area is perfect for families, with great views of the river. Would consider coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful dining experience! We were lucky to snag a table by the river and spent a lovely afternoon watching the rafters go by. The chicken soft tacos were on point, the chicken was seasoned wonderfully. Our server was very approachable and made sure we were happy. Portion sizes were generous too; we left feeling full and satisfied. Looking forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved Boathouse Cantina! The ambiance is picturesque, overlooking the stunning Arkansas River. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fresh and bursting with flavor. The service was excellent, our waitress was very attentive, and made great cocktail recommendations! The only downside was that it got crowded around dinner time, but it was well worth the wait. Would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Boathouse Cantina is a must-visit! I enjoyed brisket tacos that were flavorful and delicious. The patio has a beautiful view of the river, making for a wonderful dining experience. While the service was a bit slow, it was friendly and the staff seemed to care about our meal. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Boathouse Cantina is a unique location. We especially enjoyed watching the river rafters and kayakers while we dined. I ordered the nachos and they were surprisingly good and loaded with toppings! My friend had a quinoa salad which was fresh and crunchy. The service was helpful, but had a few hiccups as they were busy. I would definitely recommend it for a casual meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Boathouse Cantina with high hopes after hearing friends rave about it. The location is superb, and the overall vibe is inviting. I tried the duck tacos, and while they had good seasoning, I thought the portion could have been larger for the price. The service felt a bit rushed; I think it was the busy evening crowd. Overall, not bad but I expected a bit more for a highly praised place. " (*Curated Review*)
